We are art hoarders. We'll probably never have enough wall space to display the original and print art we've collected over the years. Not all feature dogs, but some do. Here are just three of our favorite artists who feature dogs and other animals in their work. We chose these three for our gift guide because they offer high quality, affordable pieces that are perfect for gift giving.
Pet Art by Ron Krajewski
Ron Krajewski is a self-taught artist in Gettysburg, PA. In addition to his art prints, he also does commissioned pet portraits. Krajewski wants everyone who looks at one of his dog art prints to think it is an original watercolor. That's why each print is printed on 100% cotton, heavy weight textured watercolor paper.
These print most definitely have the look and feel of an original watercolor and each is hand signed by the artist on the front border.
After discovering his Dog Art Studio work on Etsy, I was thrilled to find two prints I had to have.
Shown at left is my black dog art print which looks so much like my Rosie that it's hard to believe it is not a custom portrait.
My yellow Lab art print from Dog Art Studio looks just like Rudy. |
Here's my gorgeous Ron Krajewski art print that reminds me of Jeffie. |

Pet Art Prints by Todd Young Art
The image at left is an art print I purchased to remember my beloved dog, Tucker.
Entitled The Clearing, it reminds me my good boy is waiting for me on the other side.
I came across Todd Young 's art work while browsing Etsy and am so glad I did. Young is another self-taught artist who loves dogs and they show up everywhere in his work.
